How To Refill A Juul Pod With Vape Juice

Many vapers who have jumped on the Juul craze aren’t aware that you can get more mileage from Juul Pods once you’ve vaped through one. The .7 ml pods are actually refillable, so you can use them more than once instead of tossing a pod out when you’re done.

Alternatively, you can invest in Juul-compatible pods, which are often more affordable and hold more nicotine salt ejuice than the Juul’s 7 ml capacity.

Watch Paul’s video below for a quick and easy walk-through for how to refill Juul pods.

San Francisco’s embrace of harm reduction does not extend to smokers. In a city which hands out 4.5 million syringes annually, and has pushed to open safe injection sites where illicit drug users can shoot up and safely ride out their buzz under clinical supervision, is unwilling to consider the health consequences of banning e-cigarettes.

Mileage may vary but 3-4 seems to be the average and 6 is obtainable if you are meticulous. Keep in mind there are also devices- like the Aspire Spryte- that can use both Nic Salt juice, much like a pod, and regular e-juice.

The ejuice that is used in a traditional mod has a higher amount of vegetable glycerin and considerably less nicotine than what they fill the pods with. There are also devices designed to use both nic salts and regular ejuice like the Aspire Sprytehttps://www.vapor4life.com/aspire-spryte/

Where can I buy the refill comparable juice? I just started Juul and really like it. I’ve been smoking since 7 th grade .
I am trying to keep the price as low as I used to get my cigs at the reservation. They were 2.50 a pack.
Thank you and I’m so glad I found this site.

The one word answer is yes. You could fill a Juul pod with regular ejuice but it is going to have way less nicotine though. An ejuice that is 60 tto 70 percent vegetable glycerin (VG) will probably work best.

The long answer is that nicotine levels aside, the type of regular ejuice you refill it with will have an impact on the performance. Juul seems to use a pretty viscous ejuice (estimated at 60-65 vegetable glycerin percentage). This is a pretty close to the common 70/30 VG/PG ratio.

A juice with a higher ratio of propylene glycol (PG), might be more prone to leaking. A higher VG juice might clog up the pod a bit a faster and shorten the life of the coil, although since it is a disposable pod that you are extracting additional life from this may not make a huge difference in longevity.

Keep in mind that there are affordable refillable pod systems that have swappable coils so you have more control over the process. The Smok Nord, Aspire Spryte, Aspire Nautilus AIO or if you are looking for higher performance the Lost Vape Orion DNA Go are just a few of the refillable pod systems available.

If you refill a Juul pod, you can use the juice of your choice. But the downside is that the Juul device isn’t designed for its flavor production or cloud, or to be refilled for that matter. It is optimized for vaping high nicotine salts discretely.

If you are interested in zero nicotine ejuice, you might be better off with a system that was designed to be refilled from the outset. I recommend checking out our feature article on Top 10 Juul alternatives, as well as this article which compares nic salts to classic ejuices.

Nic salts are popular because they can pack a much bigger nicotine punch than conventional ejuices. If you are looking for low or zero nicotine, nic salts are probably not your best option, as their distinguishing feature is the amount of nicotine they contain. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

1.m A certain percentage of Juul pods leak, whether opened and refilled or not.
2. Since the pod is not actually designed to be refilled it can sometimes be tricky to make sure that it seals again. Try dabbing up the juice with a napkin and blowing through to clear excess residue.
3. It could be the juice you are using. The viscosity of ejuices can vary greatly. A juice that is high in propylene glycol (PG) is more likely to leak. A high vegetable glycerin juice on the other hand is thicker, and less likely to leak. Juul is cagey about the ratio in their juice, but it has been estimated at 70 percent VG. So you will probably want to use an ejuice that is at least 60 percent VG, and a 50/50 PG/VG juice is more likely to leak.

It is possible to refill a Juul pod, although it is technically designed to be a one time use prefilled pod. Below is an instrutional video.

Other more affordable options include Juul compatible pods and using a purpose built refillable vape pod kit. The advantage of the purpose built kit is that it will have superior performance and ease of use, since it is actually designed for use with an ejuice bottle. Here is a link to our refillable vape pod kits: https://www.vapor4life.com/vape-pods/refillable-vape-pod-kits/

Here is an article we wrote this spring on the Top Ten Juul Alternatives:

As the device is not really meant to be refilled, it is possible that the stopper was somehow damaged or compromised, especially if you cannot get it wedged back in with tweezers or a similar tools.

Another option is to take the plunge and use a refillable vape pod kit. These are purpose built and will have a bigger battery and superior performance. The Smok SLM, Caliburn and Baton V2 are all about the same size as a Juul.

I have never tried a Caliburn Koko but I am huge fan of the original Caliburn and am currently testing out a Smok Fetch (which bears a close resemblance to the Koko). Even if Juul hadn’t cancelled their four best flavors (IMO), and there weren’t so many amazing vape juices on the market, it would still be hard to argue against the economics of refillable vape pods vs prefilled vape pods.

Also no one has mentioned anything about the cotton on the mouthpiece other than drying it out the best you can. When it becomes saturated you tend to get a lot of spit back…… I however like to remove the factory provided cotton and take some cotton bacon etc…. make two little balls and push them into the corners next to the draw holes and they will absorb enough to eliminate spit for a refill or two.
